Tracking Web usage
Posted: 17 Oct 07 6:41 AM

| Are there any new tools in 7.2 to track web usage? Like who logged in, how long they stayed logged in, what pages were visted etc. If not does anyone track this with a third party program - probably parsing IIS logs? What programs do others like? Thanks |

Nope...
This is not a "normal" web site... it's really a specialized app and I don't believe typical web tools would be good here...
Humm.. you have given me an idea.. I'll add a v7.2 "utilization" application to my development log... maybe you will see it available for sale by Christmas!

SLX 7.2 web is exactly the opposite of what RJL mentioned. It is a completely standard ASP.NET application. It doesn't use it's own crazy concoctions for this or that - it just makes use of everyday, typical ASP.NET standards and methodologies. In fact, there's so many ways to plug in your own monitoring and usage stuff that it is just crazy.
This is all completely doable. Remember, this is just a standard ASP.NET application, even the way SLX does user authentication is the standard way using membership providers. Any tools that monitor ASP.NET applications will 100% work for SLX 7.2 Web. ASP.NET has so much built-in with tracing that you could use.
What I would do for this is built an ASP.NET HttpModule and plug it in the site's web.config. You could log everything from there - all pages visited, users logged in, users logged out, even what records they looked at, etc. The only file in the entire site you'd have to modify would be the web.config to plug in your assembly to the application.
As far as pre-built tools, I've not looked for any, but I am sure there are many. |

What I was saying is that although it's built on standard technologies it's not like a typical "web site".. it's an "application". You could track pages, etc using things like webtrends, etc.. but that may produce far more (useless) data than you want/need.
What is really needed is something that is designed for the purpose of monitoring/tracking from an overall Sage SalesLogix CRM app point of view.

How do we build a custom membership provider that works across multiple webservers hosting the customer portal, since the web.config for each webserver would need to be put with this capability.
Ryan do you have a sample of logging a visit of the customer portal for login and logout?
